A lot has happened since we reported on the launch details of the Samsung Galaxy S4 for various carriers. Originally AT&T and Sprint subscribers could buy one in stores starting this weekend on the 27th. While T-Mobile subscribers could begin buying theirs online at T-Mobile.com. But alas, that is no longer the case. Everything for AT&T will go continued as planned but for Sprint & T-Mobile – things have changed. Here’s what’s going on:

Sprint announced earlier yesterday via email that they have been affected by an unforeseen inventory shortage from Samsung. They will have to delay their launch but are still taking pre-orders and customers can still order one online on the 27th. No word on when the #3 carrier will get their stock in.

Yesterday evening, T-Mobile announced a similar statement but with a bit more clarity on when their subscribers can get theirs. T-Mobile’s delay is due to inventory shipping delays. They are only delayed by 5 days as online sales continue on the 29th while the launch is still happening on May 1st…for now.

On a more positive note, Verizon announced that they will begin taking pre-orders for their Galaxy S4 starting today. Hopefully that means within two weeks, VZW subscribers can enjoy their Samsung Galaxy S 4 along with everyone else. Pricing for the 16GB model version of the phone will begin at $199 ($249.99 w/ a $50 mail-in rebate).
So be patient Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon subscribers, it’s coming. While AT&T users will get their Galaxy S4 before everyone.
